Miquel Barceló designs corrida poster for Victor Barrio tribute in Valladolid
Miquel Barceló, a living artist known for his nuanced stance on bullfighting, has designed the official poster for a corrida dedicated to Victor Barrio in Valladolid on September 4. Barrio, a 29-year-old torero superstar, died last month after being gored during a bullfight in Teruel, Aragon. Barceló, who won the Ciudad de Sevilla bullfighting prize this year, has previously emphasized his neutrality, keeping Mallorcan fighting bulls at home as painting models rather than for killing. The event places Barceló among a long lineage of artists engaged with bullfighting, including Goya, Dalí, and Picasso.
